UCLA started with a solid run plan. They started with a solid back, Bolu Olorunfunmi, who had nine yards in his first two carries. Then they decided to use Jalen Starks, Nate Starks and Soso Jamabo (Darren Andrews and Mike Fafaul also recorded a rush each), and divide 19 carries between them. Though the Bruin coaches should have stuck with one or two backs (ONLY!), they also did not stick with the run.
Out of their 19 carries, UCLA had 10 in the first quarter and 14 total in the first half.
